This unique copper-colored ale derives its fruity, slightly spicy aroma from authentic Belgian Abbey yeast. The subtle nutty and malty sweet flavors sing in harmony with the freshest organic hops vailable. Monk In the Trunk devotees are known to chant about its most intriguing quality, true drinkability.

On tap at the Titanic brewpub. Pours clear copper color with off white head. Aroma is lots of spices and bread. Flavor is very sweet with malt, clove, caramel, banana and Belgian yeast. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

On tap at the Mellow Mushroom in Delray Beach. Not the best amber I have ever had. Goldish color with aromas that aren’t special or unique. Flavor is mild and smooth,but not spectacular.

Dark amber with relatively thick white head, served in plastic glass. Nose is bland with diacetyl. Mild sweet caramel malt flavors. When it warms grows nuttier and some licorice emerges. Good carbonation level.

Re-Rate from sample @ brewery taproom Bright coppery-gold with hardly any head. Intensely sweet, American Belgian-style strong ale with peaches, pineapple, banana, and good yeast esters. Soft, low carbonation. Super sweet and super fruity. Not my thing but there is something fun about it. Like pie filling: apple, plum, banana.

Orlando, Fl. - Rossi’s Pizzeria - on tap. Medium copper pour, tight white head, good lacing. Sweet aroma with hints of candied sugar, maple syrup. Flavor has some of the same sweet elements with some cotton candy thrown in there. Reminds me somewhat of a light Belgian Brown Ale. Has an enticing bitter back end that keeps my enthusiasm going for this one. Decently thick mouthfeel. Wish this brewer distributed more around the state.

Tap at Rooney’s Public House in Jupiter - The brew was a lovely copper color with a smallish head. The aroma and taste was dominated by malts. A small amount of carmel was noted along with a slight touch of sweetness. Very drinkable, which was much needed since I was hustling to a spring training game.
